Deborah Renshaw at Dover
Dover, DE – Deborah On Dover: “I am really
excited about Dover. We tested there the Monday after the
Lowe’s race and I think it is a race track that can really
turn our luck around. I am well aware of the reputation of
the “Monster Mile” and how tough it can be. It will
be important for me to be patient during the race and make
sure that I stay out of harms way. My BHR2 team has been giving
me great trucks each week and Arrington Engines provides us
with awesome horsepower for under the hood of this No. 8 DODGE.
This has been a tough season for me so far but I am hopeful
of a strong run this week and a very important good point’s
day.”
Deborah and her BHR2 team tested at Dover last week with
their No. 8 DODGE. These were the first laps for Deborah at
the “Monster Mile”.
“I studied the track a lot before going there to test
and when we unloaded I adapted to the track pretty quickly.
I was a little intimidated at first but I got comfortable
with things as the test progressed. Kevin Harvick was at the
track testing his Cup car and he was kind enough to offer
me a few tips and that really helped me out. We turned some
fast laps in qualifying trim and the truck felt good to me
with the race set-up. By the end of the day I was very comfortable
and I cannot wait to get back there this week and get a solid
run under our belts.”
Deborah On Danica Patrick: “Danica rocks!! She has an
unbelievable opportunity and she is making the most of it.
Her record setting weekend at Indianapolis only solidifies
what we have been saying for years – women belong here
as race car drivers. I follow Danica and what she is doing
as much as I can – I know her through the Lynn St. James
Driver Development program and she is just setting the world
on fire. She is clearing the path for many other up-and-coming
female race car drivers – it’s our turn to bring
that same level of success to the Craftsman Truck Series.
With all of this attention given to Danica and her run in
the Indianapolis 500, I am hopeful that this helps open some
doors to Corporate America and further support of female drivers
with sponsorship and marketing funds that are necessary to
compete in this sport.”
For the fourth race in a row, Deborah will be making her
career debut at a track – this time at the 1.0-mile concrete
oval of the Dover International Speedway. Deborah and her
BHR2 team did test at the track right after the Lowe’s
race and those laps should prove to be helpful when the No.
8 DODGE is unloaded.
